As per the proposal, anyone that holds as low as $100 in crypto cannot participate in the stable coin regulation. However, if they give up the portfolio, they can participate. The ruling further says that participants cannot engage in the meeting even if in the future the government has plans to integrate the stable coin in their daily operations. 

This ruling will not be subject to a specific employee but all government employees in the United States. 

Exception To Rule
